The story of women and hair loss is one that can happen to any women without warning, at almost any age, driven by a myriad of causes ranging from hormonal issues to use of harsh coloring and hair care products. But whatever the cause, one thing is for sure, it will take a mental toll creating a whole different set of psychological issues which just might include depression and intense worry. But take heart, in most instances involving women and hair loss there is a happy ending. And even in the most severe cases there are extreme options such as hair transplant surgery (not discussed here) that can deliver remarkably good results, though the cost may be somewhat prohibitive.

The first thing I would suggest to you is that after reading this article you use a home remedy as a stop gap until you can find out the true cause of your case of women and hair loss. We will be mixing up our own brand of three ingredient shampoo so you will need a container and a measuring cup. It is a simple formula containing three fourths aloe vera, one eighth coconut milk, and one eighth wheat germ oil. Use this formula in place of your current shampoo. You will want to make sure you use it as a conditioning type of shampoo letting it sit for one to two minutes before rinsing. You should start to see results within a week to ten days of starting the treatment but keep in mind while this simple three ingredient treatment for women and hair loss will buy you some time it most likely will not cure your condition.

Perhaps the most common cause of hair loss in women is a hormonal genetic progressive condition known as female pattern balding. There are also a couple of signs you should be aware of if the cause is indeed female pattern balding. The most common is a generalized proportionate thinning on the entire scalp. The second and less common type of balding involving women and hair loss is a pattern that I like to call men's light. With hair loss occurring from back to front mainly on the top of the head. If you see either one of these patterns there is at least a 75 percent chance that progressive female pattern baldness is at work here. Nevertheless, that leaves a 25 percent chance it could be something else, and there are no shortage of candidates to fill that void.

For this reason most experts in the field of women and hair loss believe the number on most important rule is getting is getting a correct diagnosis from a trained professional in the field of women's hair loss. The primary reason to seek out profession help is to make sure a more serious underlying problem isn't lurking in the shadows. This is not necessary a bad thing, remember identifying a potentially serious problem early could save your life! So go and have the balding checked out. The chances are pretty good that either a simple blood test or scalp biopsy will be all it takes to solve the riddle of women and hair loss.
